Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has expressed disappointment with Wyoming’s stablecoin initiative. He accuses its team of showing bias toward Ethereum and states that Cardano and other blockchain options were unfairly excluded from the project.

Cardano was notably absent from the list of blockchains chosen for Wyoming’s stablecoin Proof-of-Concept. Hoskinson argued that sentimental preferences, rather than transparent criteria, influenced the selection process.
Lack of Transparency in Decision-Making Process
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission was criticized for not disclosing qualification criteria. Hoskinson described the process as arbitrary, unconstitutional, and damaging to trust in the project.

Hoskinson called the situation a setback for Wyoming’s leadership in crypto innovation. He claimed that contributors, including himself, were sidelined, dampening enthusiasm for the state’s stablecoin initiative.
